Wanna know what? It sounds like you push your cars hard. I'm bumping this thread because I think it is important for anyone torn between a racer and a cruiser. I've been shifting for 10 years. Then I bought the 09 Si, and I'm yet again...shifting. 1st 2nd 3rd 2nd neutral and on and on and on.

At some point you GOT to get an automatic and just F'n relax a little on the road. But until you've gotten to that point, keep shifting - race - crash - and repeat.

1. Dont underestimate a civic. A new LX-S or Si model are both wise investments. They retain market value for a long time. Deciding between which trim is up to you. Do you want a new, reliable, safe, daily driver, with a touch of sport? Or do you want all that +upgraded suspension, wheels, engine, transmission, along with suade interior and sunroof. Im sure im missing a few details but all in all your choosing between two different cars.

Can you settle for less?
Or is it worth it to you to have all the extra features?

And also, as to the new civic. Nobody really knows the facts yet, but it is speculated to be renewed sometime around 2012.

good luck with your choice.

Well aren't you the bees knees? Accidents happen, and can happen at any speed. Hell I totalled my hood (lol) when I rolled into the back of a Wrangler one time at < 5mph. Fvckin automatic transmissions! They'll kill ya.

Nowadays I don't trust any car that can drive itself into a wall with no driver input.

I hear you. I scratched my Si OEM wheel at 1mph at a gas station, but that was my stupidity. It sounded like the guy that started this thread was trying to choose between relaxing on the road and ripping down the freeway. Based on my own experience, it boils down to how tired you are of driving hard and where you are in life.

Since I bought the 08 Si, I've considered buying an LX or EX as a daily driver and turning the Si into a weekend ride.

integra's are pieces of **** compared to any new car. Every time I get in my 01 i remember that its based off a 92 civic and I get sad. It rides like crap, it rattles like crazy and the performance trade off is just not there. I'm getting rid of mine for a 06 SI.

go with the si, I made the mistake of getting the lx model, just to trade it in in 3 months for an si.

SI if you are used to 98 integra....I test drove both and decided on 09 SI

^ sir, don't speak like a moron. Whenever you use the word "any, everything" or any words that is referring to the overall, you automatically wrong. Why? Because there is no such thing as better or worst than anything. If you are smart, there will be people who are smarter than you and if you are stupid, of course there also people who is less intellectual than you because you can't be the stupidest person in the whole entire world can you? If you answer yes, then I will agree with you that the 01 Integras are a piece of **** compared to "any" new cars. So to reflect your statement, 01 Integra is not a (your quote) " pieces of **** compared to any new car ". Not any new cars are better than the Integra and I can name many of them if you are interested. So please, next time don't bash on cars that are well known, especially when the car is in the same family as the car you are comparing to.

first step is to test drive both cars.. most people will probably end up liking how the Si drives, much more than the LX. after that, you have to decide yourself what you wanna do with the car. that'll be the best way to decide if the car is for you. (btw, what about the EX trim?)

Yep...I test drove a ton of cars but the the SI stuck with me. I also own an Integra...I do think it is just a bit more comfy...the seats in my SI are not to good to my 5 10 235 pound body LOL.
